Diagnosis. The female of P. hupingensis Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. is similar to that of P. gibberosa Zhang et al., 2013 ( Zhang et al. 2013a) by the parallel IDS situated medially and posteriad, but can be distinguished by anterior margins of LL only slightly curved (anterior margins of LL strongly curved and forming a “W” in P. gibberosa ).
